TIBCO Businessworks-Love to work for this tool

It is used as a middleware for processing orders. It receives the orders from an order management system, translates, transforms and sends the order to an ERP system for order processing and the ERP system processes the orders and gets it shipped through warehouses. Once the order status changes to shipped, canceled, etc., ERP sends a notification to TIBCO and in turn it translates the information to the order management system in an understandable format and sends it to OMS.

It also takes care of email notification to customers. It also takes care of the order return processing and also passes the order information to BI systems.

This tool is very easy to use. Even a beginner can start working on it with a week of learning and start delivering. It provides functionality to create a business process which gives a very good visual presentation of business logic which is easy to represent. Almost all the coding is written with the help of XPATH. It also supports JAVA custom code in case somebody has to write a logic which is not provided by TIBCO BusinessWorks.

They have come up with 6.x versions which I have not used yet but it's all Eclipse based and they have introduced various features in it.

Mapping is easy and faster. All the mapping is written with the help of XPATH. Other tools also provides the mapping through XPATH but the mapping has to be written in XSLT which becomes difficult for a beginner. Whereas tibco businessworks creates the xslt automatically once the XPATH mappings are completed.

It provides an inbuilt tester inside the tool which makes the unit testing very easy. It also provides the breakpoints with which we can halt the processing at any point and debug the issue.The best part is we can see the input and output data of each palette which makes the debugging easier. I love inspector activity which basically writes the complete processing data inside a file and you can see the data and debug the issue more efficiently.
